It was a beautiful early Fall day when I met up with these two near the base of Mount Si in North Bend. It was one of those few choice days where all the wildfire smoke from numerous fires in the Cascades finally blew out of the area, leaving us with a mix of clouds and sunshine, but most importantly, gloriously fresh air and clear views of the surrounding mountains. And so we took full advantage of the perfect day, starting with the iconic Mount Si, then taking the short drive over to Rattlesnake Lake, and finishing off with a hike up to the ledge for sunset. They recently moved to North Bend, so we wanted to keep the vibes local.

Within the first few minutes we were all laughing and having a great time. It was absolutely incredible! These two were so much fun to work with, able to have fun balancing on rocks in the lake (without slipping a foot in the water even once!), balancing on a wobbly log in a field, and even getting up on the ledge at the end! Throughout the images, you can just tell they really enjoy spending time together. And I have to say, these two are without question, among the nicest couples I’ve ever met.

Congratulations guys! It was truly an honor and pleasure being your photographer! I had an amazing time capturing your engagement (and wedding too – can’t wait to show those as well!)! Enjoy a sneak peek at a few of the many highlights!
